The Enigmatic Return ( Nancy’s )
The Enigmatic Return By Juliana. Spicy Chapter 1466

Chapter 1466

There’s no doubt about it. The Cox and Gordon families must have planned to leave Bartitsu Guild long ago!

And the reason why the Gordon family didn’t leave with the Cox family is probably because they were waiting for a plausible excuse to do so!

And I… I handed this opportunity over to Neera on a silver platter!

The mere thought of it made Matthew tremble uncontrollably with anger.

That little girl dared to trick me? How absolutely outrageous!

And what’s the buzz online about her being none other than the renowned Dr. Nancy?

How could this happen?

How could a girl, previously unknown and insignificant, suddenly transform into a world-renowned top doctor?

The current public opinion was leaning toward Neera, and the reputation of Bartitsu Guild was getting worse and worse. This was not at all what he wanted to see!

At that moment, Darren rushed in to report, “Mr. Lozano, we have a problem! Representatives from Lordsworth Estate have arrived and are now gathered at the Gordon family’s doorstep. It seems they’re here to escort the Gordon family away!”

Upon hearing this, Matthew’s face suddenly turned even more unsightly. He asked angrily, “How many people have come?”

Darren swallowed nervously, then answered with trepidation, “Approximately… hundreds of people…”

Bang!

Overwhelmed with rage, Matthew threw his cane on the ground. His chest heaved up and down due to his anger.

Hundreds of people!

Such a grand spectacle, all for the sake of safeguarding the Gordon family. Ha, the Gordon family is really becoming more and more capable!

It seems that he had really underestimated the Gordon family, and even more so, Neera!

If he had known what would happen today, he would never have allowed Neera to smoothly take the position of the Gordon family’s head. Even more so, he should not have let the Gordon family get involved in the struggle for the title of district president.

I initially thought that the Gordon family, being a third-rate family, would be easy to manipulate.

Who would have thought after spending most of his life playing with hawks, he would end up getting his eyes pecked out by one?

At the Gordon residence.

eyes wide in disbelief.

“This…” She swallowed, mechanically turning her neck to look at Caleb beside her. “Isn’t this a bit too much of a spectacle?”

Seeing her in this state, Caleb couldn’t help but laugh, replaceing it amusing.

“You think this is a spectacle? It’s far from it. Originally, Mr. Wiley planned to come here personally, bringing even more people than now. But I know you’re not a fan of ostentation and spoke to Mr. Wiley, so he didn’t come. It’s just me, and I only arranged for these few people to come.”

Neera fell into deep thought.

Indeed, people’s perspectives differ, and so do their tones.

After the shock, she couldn’t help but replace it somewhat laughably absurd.

“This is already a big fuss. In fact, you didn’t need to come to pick me up at all. With the proclamation issued by Lordsworth Estate, even if Bartitsu Guild wants to make a move on the Gordon family, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly. Moreover, if anything were to happen to us, the first to be suspected would be Bartitsu Guild. Matthew is not a fool.”

Caleb raised an eyebrow. “He’s certainly not a fool, but his greed could lead him to bite off more than he can chew. Bartitsu Guild has always been shameless, not hesitating to lose face. With profit as their primary concern, there’s no guarantee they won’t act desperately when cornered.”

What Caleb said was indeed quite true.

Besides, since they had already arrived, Neera couldn’t just send them away, could she?

Hence, Neera had no choice but to accept. “Mr. Medicina, I truly appreciate your help. It was our Gordon family who initially caused trouble for Lordsworth Estate, yet you still take such good care of us. I feel deeply ashamed. Once we arrive at Lordsworth Estate, if there’s a chance, I hope you could kindly introduce us to His Lordship. I would like to personally thank him.”

Upon hearing this, Caleb glanced subtly at the man standing to her right, a barely perceptible twitch. playing at the corner of his mouth.

Personally thank His Lordship? He’s standing right next to you! Is there even a need for my help?

While he inwardly grumbled, he still had to put on a smiling face and respond, “Of course, of course. When the opportunity arises, I’ll definitely introduce you.”

Hmm, if things keep going like this, I feel I might just lose my mind. When will this all end?

Then, he kindly added, “Actually, Ms. Neera, you really don’t have to put yourself in such a low position, nor do you need to be so humble. His Lordship sees you as his lifesaver. To him, you are not just a member of his forces, but someone who stands on equal footing with him. In fact, your status may even be higher…”

He spoke in a roundabout way, hinting just enough before stopping. Then, with a mischievous smile, he said, “Who knows, when you meet His Lordship, I might have to rely on you to put in a good word for me.”

His words had Neera somewhat dumbfounded.

10:51 Wed, 6 Dec.

I’m on equal footing with His Lordship, maybe even higher?

How could that be? Mr. Medicina must just be thinking too highly of me.

She patted her forehead, managing only a dry laugh, unsure of what else to say.

Caleb then changed the subject. “By the way, how are your injuries? Are you feeling better?”

74%

Neera responded in the affirmative, and after recalling his previous visit, she quickly expressed her thanks. “I heard that when I was running a high fever, you came to see me and even helped me get rid of the frost poison in my body. Sorry to have troubled you. I’m truly grateful for you personally traveling a long distance to help me.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s nothing really. We’ve met and can consider each other friends now. Besides, we’re allies at present, so we should look out for each other in the future.”

While the two were engrossed in conversation, a car pulled up at the front gate.

Finnley got out of the car, took in the crowd at the entrance, and was somewhat surprised.

“Wow, this is really impressive!”

Neera, with a gentle smile in her eyes, stepped forward to greet him. She supported the old man as they walked inside.

“I’ve been looking forward to your arrival as eagerly as one would await the stars and the moon. I’ll be preparing lunch today, just for you. After you’ve eaten and rested a bit, we can set off.”

Upon hearing that she was going to cook, Finnley’s eyes immediately lit up.

However, he continued to grumble, “What’s the rush? You haven’t fully recovered yet. You should rest more. There’s no need for you to cook.”

Neera smiled slightly. “I’m not incapacitated. Besides, a bit of activity is beneficial for recovery. You don’t need to worry about me. I’m doing quite well.”

With a look of disdain, Finnley glanced at her, yet his words, both spoken and unspoken, were filled with concern.

“Doing quite well? Once you were caught, you weren’t able to escape. You were even bullied by those b*stards to this extent, you silly brat. It seems I haven’t taught you enough. Once you’ve recovered, I’ll have to keep a close eye on you and teach you more so you won’t fall into others’ hands and be bullied again.”

Neera was unsure whether to laugh or cry. “Please spare me. If I practice with you every day, I’ll probably die from the exhaustion before others can bully me.”

Finnley was not pleased to hear this as he glared at her.

“Nonsense! I’m only looking out for you. Look at you, as frail as a leaf in the wind, disappearing with the slightest breeze. How can I be at ease when you’re trying to make a living in Phison in this state?”

Said leaf was rendered speechless by his words.

Neera pulled out a chair for him, inviting him to sit down, then said seriously, “Then I’ll eat more spinach and try to become Popeye.”

Finnley was lost for words.
